What is a pedestrian approach?
Pedestrian access is a movement aimed at allowing people to walk or walk through the city before relying on cars. It is part of land -use planning and may include not only walking and jogging, but skateboards, scooters and other non -automotive. Planning for pedestrian access has grown in response to land -use planning laws that separate buildings and houses using use. With traditional land -use planning, residential structures are far from shopping neighborhoods and industrial parks, forcing citizens to use cars to achieve their destinations. Since fewer people are able to travel on foot, the level of traffic and obesity increases. Strong operation and lack of pedestrian routes are often associated with stress and lower life quality and also shorten the life of the roads by increasing wear.
zoning planning advocates support many different strategies aimed at improving pedestrian access in cities and cities. Some focus on adding requirements for sidewalks in new communitiesITS, which are often arranged to improve automobile traffic than for pedestrian traffic. Roads, walking trails, cycling trails and strategies of calming traffic can be safer and easier to travel for pedestrians.
Another method for improving pedestrian access involves a change in the requirements for territorial territorial territorial territorial resources. Rather than separating different types of devices, planning advocates support territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial areas, which are more similar to the traditional neighborhood. This type of land -use planning would allow children to go to school and let all citizens go to work or retail facilities. Part of this strategy includes a return to independent stores and “buying local” rather than spending money in large boxes and shopping centers.
One key to a better access for pedestrian in most areas is public improvementno transport. Throughout Europe, where public transport is widely available, pedestrians are generally much higher than in other parts of the world. In the US, where public transport is missing in many cities, it has replaced cars as a primary means of transport, even on short roads. Some advocates of urban planning also propose to add high parking fees or overload fees to mitigate operation and encourage walking in the city center.
In many areas, walking is supported by pedestrians or city centers that are closed for operation. Some examples include the world's longest shopping area in Copenhagen, Denmark or the third promenade of Santa Monika Street in California. In 2009, the New York City also banned the operation of vehicles in parts of Times Square to improve safety and access to pedestrian.
